HdP Ambre 114 kicks SL Ambre Sultan's ass to the kerb ? ! ? ...

.....Care to debate / discuss / agree / disagree ? ... This may be Sacrilegeous to some of you ? ... But I believe I've found the Amber that "kick's SL Ambre Sultan's ass to the kerb" ! ..... The Glorious HdP Ambre 114 ... "It's THE Perfect Amber ! (to my nose!)
(Then again, I may just have to keep poor AS in a corner somewhere, desperately sparring for my renewed attention ! )

Histoire Ambre 114 is my favorite amber fragrance, though I think it's different enough from Ambre Sultan such that there isn't much overlap. 114 is much smoother, more subtle. AS is very sweet, rich and loud. Very different. 114 is closer to MPG's Ambre Precieux.

I wish I could afford 114, it's seems like an awful lot to pay for an amber, but regardless it's very good stuff.

I'm not "targeting" AS , the reason I mentioned that one specifically, is because that is the one that's being replaced in my wardrobe. Also because when I asked everyone's opinon, some time back, on their favourite Ambers (just before purchasing mine) - AS was by far the one that most got recommended to me.

Sorry, I prefer not to choose the nose candy.
I`ll keep SL for the aromatic twist in start, and MPG for the sweetness and round feelings, and AG for caressing feeling.
I even keep my almost-no-name amber organic scent made in Israel (cheap and cheerful).

I only would not make any efforts to extend my amber family.
Like, I don`t care about Ambre Extreme (L`A), Ambre 114 Histoire de Parfums and others...

Yes it is dreadfully pricey, isn't it. But damn well worth it, I think. It lasts forever on my skin, well into the next day. I have been wanting to sample MPG's APrecieux desperately, but the supplier for MPG fragrances here in UK, has been having trouble obtaining it. So I have, unfortunately, still not had the pleasure. (I believe MPG themselves are having some trouble of their own).
I have been hoping to find a very generous (UK?) BN'r who will be so kind to gift me a tiny bit, but alas to no avail (as of yet, I still live in hope). I have been told many a time that it is the definitive amber fragrance. But now that you have mentioned they are quite close, it's probably not worthy of me having both. (ASultan I still think is different enough to still have it along A114.)

To my nose, Ambre Sultan is a sad copy of Opium PH EdP which is the finest amber-based fragrance out there. Never heard of HdP Ambre 114 let alone smelled it before. Where is this available at?

"I exist for myself, and for those to whom my unquenchable thirst for freedom gives everything, but also for everyone, since insofar as I am able to love - I love everyone. Of noble hearts, I am the noblest - and the most generous of those that yearn to give love in return. - I am a human being, I love death and I love life."
